Thanks to J.K. Rowling, happiness might indeed be found in the darkest of times for Cassidy
Stay, the lone survivor of a shooting that left her parents and four siblings dead almost a month
ago in their suburban Houston home.

The
Harry Potter author sent the fan a care package this week, Today.com said, after the
15-year-old quoted the character Dumbledore at the memorial service for her family (“Happiness can
be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light”).

Included was a letter to Stay written in purple ink by Dumbledore, a wand, an acceptance letter
to Hogwarts and a
Harry Potter book autographed by Rowling, according to the Facebook page We Want JK
Rowling To Meet Cassidy Stay.

Rowling’s rep would confirm only that a package and letter were sent: “The contents of the
letter and how it came about are private and between her and Cassidy.”
